john boehner is a republican in name only. constantly berating people who are part of the establishment. wanting to burn heretics. more a notion of exclusion than expansion for the party and a kind of intellectual rigidity that i think has taken place. we sought in the republican party in the 2012 election. if you could get $10 of spending cuts for tax increases, which of you republican candidates would agree to that? not a single hand went up. there is an ideology within the republican party, tea party movement that says you will not raise taxes under any conditions, regardless. i think that is not a conservative way to approach things. there is nothing set in stone about where the tax rates are right now. it depends on circumstances. it depends on what you get in return. any conservative would take that in a moment. this is an ideological rigidity that is taking place. i suspect that person probably shares it. host: one more quote from your essay before we go to calls. a truly conservative response to the advance of the libe
